"That old fellow from Cumberland is out of town with cavalry?" The look on Earl Nar's face was half rejoicing, half pity: "Without that guy in the way, the success rate of our plan would be greatly improved......!

Boanse knocked on the floor with his cane, and coughed loudly because he was in a hurry: "Ahem, ahem, don't talk nonsense! As the first executor of the plan, there are only three of us in this meeting, and we must make a final plan as soon as possible, we are running out of time!"

Ratledge tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop and said calmly: "Count Narr, I think the Minister of the Interior is right, the most important thing at the moment is to hurry up and start the plan as soon as possible. ”

Boanse touched his chest hard, and as he breathed, he motioned for Ratledge to continue.

Ratledge nodded slightly at the old man and continued: "Cumberland took all the xenocavalry of the Knights this time, and this group of people went to Silver Ring City and returned, counting the journey and the time of the battle, in the ideal case, we only have four days......"

The unconcerned Count of Nar opened his mouth and questioned: "Four days, there are six thousand troops in the Silver Ring City! they have the city wall, how can they be defeated by a group of cavalry!"

Rutledge shrugged helplessly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous remark in the world.

"There's a lot we have to do over the course of four days. Ratledge wrenched his fingers and said, "First of all, we must take control of the barracks, which is the most critical step. ”

"In Dusk City, there are a total of four military camps, namely the Dusk West Knights, the North Island Knights, the City Security Corps, and the Kingdom Navy. ”

"Cumberland has taken all the cronies in the Knights of the Twilight, and there are already many people in the remaining army that we have bought in advance, and before the plan is executed, we only need to replace the soldiers on duty at the barracks gate, armory, and duty team, and it will be easy to control the barracks. So, the Knights of Twilight are not a problem. ”

"As for the City Security Team and the Kingdom Navy, these two barracks are not as large as the Knights of the Dusk West in terms of size and defense, so they are easy to handle. ”

"Only the Knights of the North Island, a little trickier......"

Count Nar asked again, "The Knights of the North Island are just a bunch of pirates who can only drink and fight, how can it be difficult to deal with this group of waste?"

Ratledge unconsciously crossed the table with his finger: "The pirates from the North Island, their leader is a woman called the Valkyrie, and the deputy leader is a berserker, who believes in the teachings of the gods, and is more loyal to the Holy King than we can imagine. However, they are weak and outnumbered, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Rafflic continued: "After the four barracks are settled, the next thing to do is to block the roads, two by sea and one by land. ”

"On the sea route, after taking control of the barracks of the Kingdom Navy, a coalition of eleven pirate groups will pass through the Rapids Strait and break directly into the harbor, completely blocking the entire sea area. As for the land routes, the mercenary regiments of the mountain tribes, the soldiers of our army in Qiaozhuang in the city, the defenders in the city who have taken refuge in us, and the private soldiers and guards of the old Chenchen family and the merchant group of Yinhuan will each block the routes out of the city in different directions. As for the division of labor, Master Biance already has a detailed plan, so I will not talk about it for the time being. ”

At this point, Rutledge breathed a sigh of relief: "If things go well here, it means that our plan has been successful for the most part." ”

"The next step is to capture all the members of the current cabinet, as well as their cronies, and take control of most of the important buildings in the city. ”

"Finally, and the hardest. Ratledge paused for a moment, looked at Boanse and Nar, and said softly, "Attack the royal city." ”

"As the palace where the Holy King is located, the Royal City of Dusk is the center of power in this kingdom and the spiritual pillar of all citizens. Only by taking the royal city and killing the holy king can we say that we have achieved victory, otherwise everything is empty talk. ”

Ratledge furrowed his brows and said solemnly: "The palace of the Dusk West was built on the highest part of the city, and the castle design and city defense structure were originally designed by Master Terrence and hundreds of scholars. The royal city is divided into three parts: the outer city wall, the middle area and the inner palace, the moat, the arrow tower, the military road, and the trap...... As long as you can think of a defense, Dusk King City has it all. ”

Looking at the headaches of the other two, Ratledge shook his head and said, "Do you think this is the end? The most terrifying thing about attacking the city of Dusk is not the city defenses, but the defenders. The legion, made entirely of xenomorph guards, not only swears allegiance to the king to the death, but is also on par with the Knights of the Twilight West in terms of combat effectiveness. Even the most ordinary guard can easily defeat a regular army squad. ”

Count Nar was a little depressed: "According to what you say, it is impossible for us to capture the royal city at all. ”

Ratledge laughed, "We don't need to take the royal city, we just need to kill the king. ”

Count Nar sneered, "If you don't take the royal city, how can you meet the king?"

Ratledge looked at Boanse, who nodded lightly at him.

"The Dawlson family has been sponsoring scholars at the University of Twilight all these years, helping them build laboratories, buy equipment, pay assistants' salaries, and print books for free, and the biggest reason is not charity, but because these scholars have what we want most - the architectural structure of the royal city. ”

"When Terrence was designing the royal city, in order to keep it secret, he deliberately split the design into hundreds of irrelevant pieces and handed them over to different people to design. Logically speaking, this method is indeed safe. But perhaps he had forgotten one thing. ”

"The Daurson family obtained the fragments of the royal city structure map through various means, and reshaped the royal city by stacking blocks, and found that in the inner palace, there are many places that are empty 'gray space', and by restoring these unknown rooms and passages, we find that these places are the secret rooms and secret passages designed by Terrence for the Holy King!"

Count Nar somewhat understood the other party's thoughts: "You mean, we can enter the inner palace through the secret passage and go directly to the king's bedchamber. ”

"Not only that, after further exploration of the royal city, the Daurson family found that there are some traps and secret doors in the secret passages, and using them can not only block people from the outside from entering, but also prevent people from the inner palace from going out. Ratledge smiled and said, "So, with these designs, we can in turn block those guards on the outer edge of the royal city and the central district outside the inner palace gate, cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the royal city, and buy time for us to defeat the Holy King." ”

Count Narr clapped his hands and exclaimed, "This is wonderful!"

Bo Ansi rolled his eyes: "There is another question, who is responsible for killing the Holy King through the secret passage?"

Count Narr touched his chin and fell silent.

Rutledge sighed, "I'd better go." I have led troops and fought in battles before, and I am familiar with the structure of the royal city. ”

Boanse said with a relieved chin of relief: "If this surprise attack is successful, the credit of the Daurson family will come first." I hereby promise that when the banner of the Silverring Kingdom flies over the city of Twilight, on behalf of Your Majesty, I will confer the title of Hereditary Prince on the Daurson family!"

Ratledge nodded slightly, and whispered in thanks.

Stimulated by the word hereditary prince, Count Narr suddenly said in a loud voice: "For the sake of the Silver Ring Kingdom, I am willing to go to the palace with Ratledge Daurson!"

Ratledge glanced at Count Narr with some surprise, then lowered his head and smiled.
